How to Choose a Makeup Sponge for Foundation and Concealer

The right makeup sponge should make your routine simpler, not more complicated. Shape, size, softness and how you prefer to apply makeup all affect which sponge feels most useful.

Look at the Shape

A rounded surface is useful for larger areas such as the cheeks and forehead, while a pointed section can help with smaller areas such as the inner corners of the eyes and around the nose.

Consider How You Apply Makeup

If you prefer a sheer, blended base, a damp sponge may suit your routine. If you prefer more controlled placement, use small pressing motions and build product gradually.

Keep Cleaning in Mind

Choose a sponge you can clean thoroughly and allow to dry properly between uses. Easy care matters just as much as application when you use a beauty tool regularly.
